Hi,

Is there any location in Trivandrum or near Trivandrum to fly RC planes?

thanks,
siddhu

There is some place near Pangode, but access seems to be by invitation.

I have been searching for a ground too. we need to group up resources to find a nice place to fly.

I have asked our member Mr Vinod Madhavan ("madhavan") to pitch in if he knows any flying locations (other than the one at Pangode).

I was flying at Mar Ivanios College ground Nalanchira few months back. But only electric. I am still looking out for a proper place for Nitro or Gas. Pangode Ground belongs to Indian Army, so it’s not easy to get permission.

Hey, do v need any permission to fly planes at Mar Ivanios College ground

I just spoke to the guard at the gate.

Hello Friends,
Here i am Listing few grounds which i think we can do flying in  Trivandrum , amoung those CPT is my home ground. i learned rc flying my own there , its not a big ground but its ok with me (surrounded by huge trees ) i shooted the flying of YUMMY CUB in the same ground ,i will be uploading it in forum may be in a day or two.

1. Pangode Army Ground ( permission Required from PRO ,it will be granted only when the ground is free )

2. Sports school karyvattom near technopark ( permission Required from Principal only sundays are allowed  )

3. Sports school Mylam 9 kms from city  ( good for flying in early morning after that cricket guys will rule  the ground   )

4.CPT Vattiyoorkavu( open ground early morning local guys play cricket after 9 am it is free till 4 pm .  )

i flew many times in the above mentioned grounds,, some are really good ,

Can you give me an idea about CPT Ground including direction? Is it good for nitro or Just Electric ?? I believe its thickly populated area as well ??

Nice iniciative siddhu  (he is actually my friend  ). Thanks madavan for the info. it would be more help if you can fix google map pic like the one i have attached. This place is sufficient for heli flyers but not for those who use planes.

You should post links like the ones here  

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-locations-and-clubs/mega-list-of-rc-fields-locations-clubs-in-india/

Will definitely do that once i personally visit these places, get some idea & do atleast one flying in these places  . wish members from trivandrum can give some more spots which are easily accesible & least populated.

Thanks Madhavan  .I believe its on the way to Aruvikkara ?.

Hai guys I am working at technopark now... If you guys are visiting pleas let me know...

CPT grounds are really big. One can comfortably fly electric planes. It should also be able to handle nitro or gas. Also there wont be much of a authorization trouble as in grounds at pangode. But vattiyoorkavu seems to be far for city dwellers.

I got this reply for my private message to 'Trivandrum Aeromodeling'

"you can fly vettikuzhi near pappnomcode. no need to tke permissions."

Couldn't find this place. Anybody have any idea?

You should ask them for clarification.  The response would be useful to a lot of people around TVM.

I found this on the web, not quite sure where it is. May be Madhavan can help, or if time permits, myself on next Sunday when I reach TVM.
